Brachioraidos(ブラキオレイドス, Burakioreidosu?, lit. Brakioreidos), also known as Vlakorados, Th'uban, Brachiosaur, and Brachosaur, is a recurring enemy in the series. It often appears as either a very powerful enemy fought late in the game, a boss, or even as a superboss.

The first six appearances of the Brachioraidos had it given a different name each time. The first game it appeared in is Final Fantasy VI, where the Advance release names it "Brachiosaur" after the dinosaur from which the enemy's Japanese name derives. This name was used in earlier localizations of the game, but compromised by character limits. The original SNES localization named it "Brachosaur" to fit ten characters, and while the PlayStation keeps this name it refers to the enemy as "Bracsaur" in the "Colosseum" information from the main menu to fit eight characters.

Its name in Final Fantasy VII, Vlakorados, makes an effort to translate the enemy's Japanese name, though it is not a perfect match and it also misses the "Brachio" reference. Final Fantasy X ignores the original Japanese completely and goes with its own reference for "Th'uban". The Final Fantasy IV Advance accuractely translates the enemy's name to "Brachioraidos".

Vlakorados is an enemy fought on the world map outside of Bone Village and in the grass area near Icicle Inn. It has an astronomically high HP for an enemy at the stage of the game it can be fought at, rivaling that of endgame enemies. While it has high HP it is not an exceptionally powerful enemy, and is vulnerable to various statuses as well as Gravity-elemental attacks such as Demi and Laser. Vlakorados are important enemies as they carry the Carob Nut, an item needed for chocobo breeding.

Th'uban is a superboss fought in the Monster Arena as part of the Original Creation set of monsters after breeding six Species Conquest monsters. It is an exceptionally powerful boss, boasting high physical attacks, the Condemn skill which is used as a counter to attacks and can inflict Delay as well as remove buffs, and its powerful Rainbow and Convergence attacks. In addition, it can also cast Regen, Protect, Shell, and Haste on itself.

The Brachiosaur is a powerful notorious monster encountered inside of the Diadem. The enemy has a large amount of HP and is capable of wiping multiple parties easily. The enemy refers to the enemy of the same name from Final Fantasy VI, even having access to powerful abilities such as Meteor and Disaster.

Despite being based off the enemy's appearance from Final Fantasy VI, the overall design of the enemy is based on the actual Brachiosaurus dinosaur.

The summon's special attack is Dragon Breath, which deals earth-elemental damage to all enemies. All versions of the summon are able to go up to rank 7. Summoning Brachiosaur costs 2 point from the Consumption Gauge.
